Film featuring Moore to be shown in Sun Valley

On Friday, September 14, 2007 at 7:00 p.m., the Sun Valley Opera House in Sun Valley, Idaho will show the film, The Power of Forgiveness as part of the Sun Valley Spiritual Film Festival, according to an announcement in SunValleyonline.com. The film, "scheduled for broadcast on public television in early 2008, features Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel, Buddhist master Thich Nhat Hanh, best selling authors Thomas Moore and Marianne Williamson, as well as features on the Amish, Ground Zero and Northern Ireland. It also shows what physical, mental and spiritual benefits can come with forgiveness."

Prior to screening, attendees are invited to participate in the Shabbat Shuval, (the Sabbath of Forgiveness), at St Thomas Episcopal Church, at 5:30. On Saturday, September 15, an associated discussion on Forgiveness and Reconciliation will feature panel speakers.

"A soul mate is someone to whom we feel profoundly connected, as though the communicating and communing that take place between us were not the product of intentional efforts, but rather a divine grace."— Thomas Moore

Why Barque: Thomas Moore?

"What I'm trying to do is say lighten up and let life flow through you, and be on the waves as they go up and down. For me, a great image in mythology is
Tristan of Tristan and Isolde. He's out there on a little boat without an oar, without a rudder, on the Irish sea . . . You float your way. You drift. The essence
of my approach is to be extravagantly accepting and forgiving of yourself and others. Ride the waves and let life take you where it has good things for you." - Thomas Moore
